Charity in memory of murdered Children's Hospital doctor

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- From the tragic murder of a Philadelphia pediatrician springs a new cause for good in the world.

On Wednesday the Melissa Ketunuti Memorial Global Health Fund was established at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

She was a doctor there when in January of last year an exterminator says he strangled her in a fit of rage at her Center City home.

The charitable fund will create opportunities for young pediatricians to work in Africa, to help children in need.
